The school district also announced the hiring of Nicole Shaw as its new food service supervisor. Shaw will replace Barb Nissel, who held the position since it was created in 1988. Nissel, who announced her retirement in October, will stay on until February to help with the transition.

Shaw served in the same capacity in the Upper Merion School District for the past year, after being Great Valley’s nutrition and garden coordinator.

Shaw is a registered dietician with a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from West Chester University.
